The Place des Quinconces

Description

she is beautiful, large, humanist and Republican, this is the place that describes whole Bordeaux! :-)

Why?
Because it is a large flat area, with many of the secrets in his basement in his many sculptures both yelling our local political ideologies! Because Montaigne and Montesquieu are advocating humanism, the Girondists Monument is dedicated to the victorious Republic of evil royalty, without forgetting the port activity at the foot of the rostral columns, opening the city to the world... It is a true summary of the city :-D

further information

discover how was the old royal castle destroyed, leaving now to settle public fairs, but that was also the place of parking of the Wehrmacht (with its bunkers to rediscover!), and is today viewer of the evolution of trams and tourists to its beautiful fountains :-)
